He had already assembled lots of valuables before the neighbours noticed him and called the police. Some of the valuables have not yet been returned to the rightful owners because the police are still investigating the crime. 

The neighbours have been asked to describe in detail what had happened.

 The press conference took place at 7 pm on Monday. During the press conference, the audience was told to wait for more news on the sentences.
